Three Men Shot In Virginia During Live Facebook Broadcast

A horrific scene was captured during a live Facebook stream after a gunman opened fire on three young men in Norfolk, Virginia.

A Facebook Live video ended abruptly and disturbingly on Tuesday after three men, smoking and listening to music inside their car, were ambushed by a gunman in Norfolk, Virginia. The live stream captured the entire incident, including the string of gunshots.

The video, uploaded in real-time by Facebook user T.J. Williams, shows him and his two friends smoking in the car while listening and rapping along to hip hop music. However, things take a drastic turn at about 5:40 into the video, when gun shots ring out and the camera falls to the floor of the car and continues recording for another hour or so.

At least 30 shots were heard during the attack, after which a man, presumed to be a witness, can be heard saying, “Call an ambulance please,” followed by him telling the victims to “stay calm, stay relaxed. They’re all good — we called the paramedics already.”

All three men, ages 27 and 29, were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with ‘significant injuries.’”
